Why are these guys so dumb, how did they get into positions of power? I think mostly just by being willing to stand up in front of a crowd and camera? AI hasn't just arrived, it's been improved over the last couple of years, and has become much more capable recently.
It's not necessarily that they're dumb, it's that they think others are dumb enough to believe any old crap they say.
I genuinely think they're dumb, they have no sense of the fact that their greed and gatekeeping will bring about a serious shift in society. They should be trying to create new job opportunities and programs for people to innovate, yet we're gridlocked in a shit late-stage capitalist society where we can't actually do anything because of weird zoning laws and regulations.
They don't care they have vacation homes on every continent, they really won't give a shit when the us descends into chaos. They already dont give a shit when a town of 10,000 in california gets their water shut off.
Good, let them go to their vacation homes wherever and let us take back control of our shit.
Good luck with that lol
Dunning-Kruger is a hell of a thing.
